Community Association Profile: Summer Village in Westford, MA

Long Sought For Pond in the north part of town has long been a summer gathering place for local residents as well as out-of-towners.  Summer cabins have existed on the lake for over a century but none were organized as a community association until recently.  Built on the site of a former campground, “Summer Village Condominium, A Seasonal Cottage Community” is available for occupancy by owners for ¾ of the year and represents a change in pace and scale from other summering spots.  Smaller buildings, thoughtfully designed exteriors and an emphasis on pedestrian circulation make it family friendly, affordable and community oriented.  Neighbors share fire pits, a clubhouse and recreational facilities, all with views of the lake.  As of August, new units were still going up in the wooded lots that fan out from the pavilion, lodge and beach that form the core of the community.  Visit their website at http://summervillagewestford.com
